SUMMARY
How many unpaid tweets earn $87 million worth of media and lead to 13% same-store sales growth and an additional $1 billion in system-wide sales for the year? It doesn’t happen by chance. We set out to make Popeyes Chicken Sandwich wildly famous. And our “instant” success was a year in the making as we market-tested our sandwich and cultivated our fanbase, particularly among Black Twitter, a highly influential, hyper-creative group of Twitter users. When our moment came, we knew exactly what to tweet start #ChickenWars.
